Poetry
Anything is subject for a poem: A catalog of boxing equipment, a collage ot other poems. Serpentine trail of incense, raised deer fur, old shoes pointed pigeon-toed. Glass and steel cityscape. almond eyes of a saint. weeping of tiny flowers. Sunlight on whitewashed walls, blue shadows ot stooped women. A sprung mousetrap, a trickle of blood in the gutter. The homing swoop of a gull, chill whitecapped bay. scent ot eucalyptus. Green lawn of broken blades, clods of fat earth. Anything is subject for a poem.
